Tyrur Bucko ruled out of Laurels

THE well-fancied Tyrur Bucko will not run in Saturday’s second semi-final of the Pat Hennerty Sales Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park due to a serious injury.

PJ Fahy, who also has the ante-post favourite Tyrur Enda in the other semi, explained yesterday that Bucko sustained a wrist injury in last weekend’s quarter-finals and will be out of action for at least three months.

He said: “He was on three legs an hour after the race. We had him checked yesterday and the vet confirmed that the dog will be off for at least three months. ”
